The maintenance and care of distillation equipment mainly includes the following aspects:
Daily cleaning and maintenance:
Cleaning the surface and internal components of the equipment: Regularly wipe the surface and internal components of the equipment with a soft cloth and mild detergent, and avoid using corrosive chemicals. For difficult-to-clean parts, such as condensers and receivers, special cleaning agents can be used or cleaned according to the equipment manual.
Cleaning glass parts: For intelligent steam distillation devices, glass parts such as distillation bottles, condensers, and receiving bottles should be cleaned in time after each use. After soaking in detergent solution, gently brush with a soft brush, and then rinse with clean water.
Cleaning sinks and water pipes: Clean the scale in the sink in time to avoid blockage. To clean the condenser bottle pipeline, you can replace the receiving bottle filled with clean water or insert the distillate tube into a beaker filled with water, then insert the rubber plug connected to the vacuum pump and turn on the vacuum pump for cleaning.
Inspect and replace parts:
Inspect seals: Check the seals regularly to see if they are intact. If they are worn or aged, they should be replaced in time to prevent liquid leakage from affecting the performance of the equipment. Replace wearing parts: Check and replace wearing parts regularly, such as gaskets, glass tubes, heating elements, etc., to ensure the performance and safety of the equipment. Calibrate sensors: Calibrate sensors regularly to ensure the accuracy of measurement data and control accuracy. Lubricate and maintain moving parts:
Lubricate moving parts: For equipment with moving parts, such as feed pumps, agitators, etc., the moving parts should be checked and lubricated regularly to ensure that they can run smoothly. Inspect mechanical parts: Check the tightness of mechanical parts regularly to ensure that there is no looseness or falling off, and tighten loose screws, nuts, etc. in time. Maintenance of electrical system and cooling system:
Inspect the electrical system: Check the electrical system regularly, including wires, plugs, switches, control panels, etc., to ensure that they are in good working condition. If an electrical fault is found, ask a professional to repair it in time. Maintain the cooling system: Check the operating status of the cooling system, including the flow rate, temperature and status of the cooling water filter, and replace the cooling water filter regularly to avoid water blockage and water quality deterioration.
Safe operation and storage:
Comply with operating procedures: When operating the equipment, strictly abide by the operating procedures and safety precautions to avoid equipment damage or personal injury due to misoperation.
Store equipment: After the experiment, the equipment should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environment.
